Ambush Card Questoin

Post by chriscoz » Thu Feb 08, 2024 2:18 pm

The Card says: " • The stand must be placed more than 2 MU from any enemy stand"

So if a stand is placed in ambush and there is no enemy within 2 MU, but could be during deployment. Later, during the initial setup, an enemy unit deploys within 2 MU. Is this all legal?

Thanks.

Sure. You can't block the enemy from deploying by setting an ambush. Note that your ambush troops can't be in the enemy deployment zone (must be at least 8mu from the opposing army's base edge). And you cannot ZOC anyone (because of the farther than 2mu rule). But if you don't take care, it is possible for the enemy to deploy some troops after you in such a way that they might be within 2mu of your ambush dudes.
